Computer Asset Database

Asset Tracker for Networks handles it's computer asset database in the set of XML files, one file per computer or network device, such as router or network printer. This information can be easilly exported into any SQL-compatible database, including, but not limited to MS SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL and others.

We decided to handle our computer asset database in a set of XML files since this structure better responds to the program requirements. XML files are steady to the file system failures (you can lose one or two files but you'll never lose the complete database), they have an open structure and their structure can easilly be expanded to reflect the enhancements we make to our Asset Tracker program.
